Listen folks, I went from dirt poor to rich. I built 3 companies and now I do exactly what I want daily.

Almost anyone can do it. I have no degree. Barely graduated high school.

What this lady is saying may be true. I am definitely already giving my kids advantages that my parents never gave me.

Through decades of hard work and failure I discovered the importance of making the right friends and building a network. Dressing well and caring about the image you project.

I was fucking dirt poor my whole life and failed publicly over and over again. I've taken food from shelters. I've been humiliated in ways I cannot explain here.

Now I am teaching my children how to meet the right people and wear the right clothes to the right places.

I am putting them into the right groups and clubs. They aren't all that expensive either.

I'm giving them advantages my poor unsophisticated parents could not give me.

You can sit in your shitty neighborhood and be angry about "the elite" or you can wake up early every day relentlessly improve yourself. Fail in public. Read the books. The library is FREE! The internet is full of all the info and connections you need!

I'm not saying these people aren't corrupt. But they have nothing to do with you.

They are not the reason you are not enjoying your life. You are.

Nothing you said actually justifies what is at issue here....

Should we not be outraged? And justifiably so? Oh...you can still be successful in life so just ignore this? What, really, is your argument here?

Fuck these people, and fuck them hard.

Some people cheat. Yes, punish them. Then get over it and work on your own life.

These people have absolutely nothing to do with you. Your life. Your achievements. Your children. Or what you learn and practice.

Oh really...what's described in the linked article doesn't do anything to determine the general direction of culture/society, and, therefore, the reality we all find ourselves in, and thus, in some and probably many ways, also much of the results of your efforts in life? Just stop...

No. This has no bearing on what YOU do. Corruption should be rooted out but too many people sit around and say "this is why my life sucks" when in reality we are each in control of our destiny. Nobody can stop you. Nobody has stopped you. Except for yourself.
